every moment that passes has a message but we tend to distort the guide of the moment to the tune of our thinking that it becomes irrelevant..we misinterpret individuality then but we seldom realize..but the message remains the same..we need to go beyond..alas! we seldom go..

The best way to know the self is feeling oneself at the moments of reckoning. The feeling of being alone, just with your senses, may lead you to think more consciously. More and more of such moments may sensitize ‘you towards you’, towards others. We become regular with introspection and retrospection. We get ‘the’ gradual connect to the higher self we may name Spirituality or God or just a Humane Conscious. We tend to get a rhythm again in life. We need to learn the art of being lonely in crowd while being part of the crowd. A multitude of loneliness in mosaic of relations! One needs to feel it severally, with conscience, before making it a way of life. One needs to live several such lonely moments. One needs to live severallyalone.

DELHI GANGRAPE: YET ANOTHER STANDALONE EXIGENCY?

It is now seven days to the
gangrape in a moving bus in the national capital. All the accused are in
custody. The victim is in hospital and continues to be critical.

The outrage and protests are
growing more localized while the government’s tone is getting more and more
political.

To sum-up all the action, till
now, has been more in the domain of rhetoric. Also, whatever that has been proposed by the supposedly
national leaders (not on acceptance barometer but on their tag of being the
union ministers), is just an eyewash aimed at immediate measures to quell the
growing voice of demonstrators.

Mr. Shinde, your government talks
about forming task force to monitor security of women in Delhi; it brags about
implementing measures like increasing frequency of buses in night, installation
of GPS, mandatory ID cards for public transport personnel, enhanced patrolling
on busy routes, to name a few.

Other stakeholders, too, have put
efforts to look doing their bit. Five special courts are coming up after the
winter vacation to deal with rape cases. Sheila Dikshit had tears on almost
every channel denouncing the irresponsible and insensitive policing though no one
can say what is preventing her to send the victim abroad for treatment after
making a flash about it in the media.

The protesters have continued and
have strengthened their run (hope they continue with it in a peaceful way).
Media was always ready to act socially responsible once the Gujarat
election was over. And so, after December 20, the day of the counting of votes
for the Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh assembly
polls, it has been on the full throttle to promote and permeate the issue.

Delhi
and Delhi
gangrape is all across. And it ensures this case is going to see some swift
action taken.

But the irony is, Delhi is not India
and India is just not about Delhi. Rape cases and
gender crimes are a pan-India catastrophe that no one is talking about.

The real problem is the tendency
to treat this case or any other similar case as standalone exigencies.

And in this case, too, the
developments are increasingly indicating this only.
